“I thought education would be similar to my military experience, but I quickly learned it’s so much more. The rewarding job of seeing students grow from their freshman year to graduation keeps me fulfilled. The relationships I build with students are what make this job incredible. We both have roles to play—mine is to provide education, and theirs is to soak it in. It’s about meeting in the middle and working together.” This Veterans Day, we honor Mr. Brad Miller, retired Navy instructor and Assistant Principal of Operations at KIPP Austin Collegiate, along with all our Big KIPPsters with military backgrounds. Thank you for your service and dedication to inspiring our Little KIPPsters and helping shape their futures! ??????? ??
